I recently did a vodka shot out of a baby bell pepper.

@jetRink: You're right, the internet is unrestricted. If I want software I can simply use google to find it. But I don't, because the internet is full to the brim of crapware... This is why I read Lifehacker and Gizmodo- I consider the software posted here as trustworthy among the otherwise quality control-free web.

Back in high school I figured out how to make my own wireless speakers using a laser pointer not unlike this guy has done:

@sevenmack: Apple makes money from apps, I think they are within their right to set standards as to what is sold through their store.

I agree with Apple on this. They needed to set a standard, and they have. I don't want to be looking at the top 100 apps and have 90 of them be stupid sideboob photo apps.

@Raiderboy23: Its a christian thing, not a national thing-the day before ash wednesday is pancake tuesday. Celebrated in only the parts of the world too boring to celebrate Mardi Gras.

@Stavvy: It's not that hard to do yourself. I think the moveobjects on cheat is all you need.

I don't know a lot about the science behind excercise... but isn't using piped oxygen defeating part of the purpose? I thought athletes trained in places with lower oxygen levels so that their bodies adapted to it, making them more efficient closer to sea level?

My favourite Sims experience was dumping loads of cheats and hacks into Sims 2 which allowed me to place objects anywhere or in people's hands.

@ubikblack: Yeah that's what I experienced... Still worth a rental though.

I was a little disappointed by the demo... I played it through several times but never managed to have a different ending. I discovered something new almost each time, but the end result seemed unaffected.

@GhostTheSaint: Who the fuck do you think you are that you think talking about weed and drinking beer is on anywhere near the same level as planning a mass murder? You think you are the only teenager to go to a school where people have sex or do drugs? Nobody cares about that shit.

@GhostTheSaint: I'm happy you've never gone to a school in which there has been an actual shooting. If you had, you would know that any indication of someone planning something like that is worth looking into.

Stick a dryer sheet over the air intakes on your desktop if it doesn't already have dust guards for easy cleaning the next time. It'll smell kind of nice for a while too.

In real life, if you get rid of the ladder while someone is swimming in a pool, they can still get out.

@Buster Friendly: Great, thank you.

@Buster Friendly: say, for example, weather, time, an RSS feed or two, to do list, and calender?

Quick question, how memory heavy is Rainmeter for XP? Very? Little?

@MasterOfNone: That's another option, but in some schools or public computers Facebook is blocked, so I keep the notifications.

My favourite trick in Gmail (probably works in other email accounts too) is being able to archive messages from Facebook into their own folder, while skipping the inbox. That way I don't get notifications every 10 seconds.
